How to make Claude Code remember the plan between sessions
Every Claude Code session starts with a fresh context window. CLAUDE.md and auto memory carry instructions and notes into the next session, and auto memory stays on the machine that wrote it. Put the plan itself on a Develosaur board: the tasks, what is claimed, what is done and what comes next. Connect Claude Code once, and each new session reads the board and continues from there.
Steps
- Add the server for all your projects:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user develosaur https://mcp.develosaur.com/v1/user/mcp - Start Claude Code, run /mcp, pick develosaur and finish the browser sign-in.
/mcp - Check it shows as connected:
claude mcp list - Paste your plan or spec into Claude Code and ask:
Put this plan on a develosaur board - In the next session, ask:
What's next on the develosaur board? - To make it automatic, add this line to your project CLAUDE.md:
At the start of each session, read the develosaur board digest and continue from it. Claim a task before working on it, and hand off at the end.
Good to know
- Claude Code's own task tools are off on Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5 and newer models since version 2.1.233, unless CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1 is set.
Try it without an account
Paste this into your agent. It builds a temporary board you can keep later:
Read https://mcp.develosaur.com/llms.txt and use it to build me a develosaur board for my projectQuestions
Is CLAUDE.md enough?
For instructions, yes: build commands, conventions and rules load at the start of every session. It is not a task list that several sessions update and claim work from.
Does the plan follow me to another machine?
Yes. The board is hosted, so a session on another machine, or a teammate's Claude Code, sees the same plan.
Can I try it without an account?
Yes. Paste this into an agent that can fetch URLs: "Read https://mcp.develosaur.com/llms.txt and use it to build me a develosaur board for my project". It builds a trial board you can keep later.
